Quickfire double

No time to waste

Bruno Alves says a brief chat with Pedro Caixinha was enough to convince him he can win silverware

“He is over-confident sometimes and that can make him commit some positional errors. He is known by his aerial ability, he has scored some goals in his career.

“At a club like Rangers, you have to count on defenders that give you goals I think.

“He is a central defender that is capable of scoring from a corner or free-kick and that is important.”

Q: HOW HAS HE PERFORMED FOR CALGARI THIS SEASON?

SV: “He has been a regular and made good, solid performances. He played almost every match in Cagliari.

“I have watched a few games and he was the leader of the defence.

“At a team like Cagliari, who are not expected to fight for the top positions, I think his decision to go was a personal decision in order to experience the Italian league because it’s a defensive league and also because it was a pleasant place.
